Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all
the works of thy hand."

HAYFIELD SUMMER RESORT. -Mr J.
G. Stanbury writes the Globe: -"In
your issue of Monday last in a report
of the meeting of the Provincial Board
of Health the Village of Bayfield is in-
cluded among those places from which
typLoid fever has been reported. In
justice to the fame ot this place as a
summer resort, it should be explained
that while it is true that a case has
been reported it was not contracted
there, and certainly could not be, as
the sanitary condition of the village
and the natural elevation at this point
on Lake Huron make health its one
prominent characteristic."

deep regret that many in our vicinity
learned of the death of Mr Wm. Kins-
man, which took place in Wingham a

for farmers in the neighborhood. His
illness was a short one, as he was

time before. His wife was a daughter
of Mr Jos. Jacobs, of Bannockburn; he

DEATH FO A GOOD WOMAN. -Ano-
ther of the honored pioneers of this
township, in the person of Mrs Chas.
Eilber, of Credition, has passed from
the scenes of this life never more to
return. Mrs Either was a native of
Wurtenburg, Gerrnany, and came to
Canada in 1851. She had reached the
good age of 72 years. She had been a
resident of Credition and its immedi-
ate vicinity for 40 years. She was a
truly good woman in every sense of
the term, and while not making any
ostentatious show of generosity, 1io
deserving person ever applied to her
in vain, either for needed counsel or
more tangible evidences of kindness,
are consequently she was not only
highly respected by all who knew her
but sincerely beloved by many, As an
index of her character we may state
that she had read the Bible through
forty-five times, an incident which be-
came known incidentally, as she never
boasted of her good works, and her ac-
tions rather than her words spoke for
her.
